[SOLVED] Fail2Ban Service failed to load - Arch-5.0.0-zen

Hellow fellow advanced users
My name is Martin and i'am just starting to scratch the surface of that UNIX system. I already find myself in a few rabbit holes but i managed to get out and fix it.
But now i am there that i can't do it myself. So lets describe my problem: I downloaded ( pacman -Sy fail2ban ) and then i try to see if is working ( systemctl status fail2ban ) but guess what..

[root@xdev etc]# systemctl status fail2ban
● fail2ban.service - Fail2Ban Service
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/fail2ban.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)

I did a few changes in fstab but i guess that's not the problem

# /dev/sda1
UUID=b621aa45-a4c3-458c-be7e-5b3ac2336d3d       /               ext4            defaults,rw,noatime,commit=60,barrier=0                                 0 1

# /dev/sda3
UUID=75638e22-4ac5-4ed0-9db5-dda106c6b0aa       /home           ext4            defaults,noatime,commit=60,barrier=0                            0 2

~~~
Fixed with cmd - systemctl start fail2ban

[root@xdev systemd]# systemctl status fail2ban

Why would you expect it to be working if you haven't started it yet?

xkpx · 2019-03-14 19:01:31

I didn't know that i need to start every downloded service manually,
Also i have used Debian for some time and i get used to these services to start automatic.

~ It was my mistake really but was a good for learning.

I Got a question is every service that i install from now on i shoud start with systemctl. ( and i guess i need to systemctl enable it for autostart ? )
